1966 Ford Bronco Roadster, Completely Original Uncut Survivor on 2040-cars
Acworth, Georgia, United States
|
True un-restored and uncut 1966 Ford Bronco Roadster, U13 vin code. Built in October, 1965. Bought from original owner's son in 1994 in Charlotte, NC. 76,000 original miles; original engine rebuilt in 1999 but less than 1,000 miles since then. Has been in storage since 2000, driven occasionally until 2006. Pulled out of storage last year, taken to the mechanic for a complete check-up, new tires, and then detailed. To the best of my knowledge, the Bronco has never been wrecked. I've certainly never wrecked it, and I was told when I bought it that it had never even been in a fender bender. The gas tank leaks when full. New high-quality, custom-made seat covers (front buckets and rear bench) to match the original factory spec vinyl, including gray color (only color available on the '66 models) and texture, installed in 2000. Not sure if the paint is original (it's not been painted since I've had it) but is in very good condition. Small, slight bubble rust under paint in one place on front right quarter panel, near bumper (see picture). Slight surface rust on original floor pans; slight surface rust on the original bumpers. When I say "surface", I mean surface. Just had all fluids changed, new tires (235/75R15 Goodyear radials), new battery, new brakes, rebuilt master cylinder, new right front brake cylinder, new front axle seals, points, rotor, exhaust gasket, manifold re-surfaced, and carb completely rebuilt. Pull to the right when breaking hard, but I've yet to see an old Bronco that did not do this. Less than 5,000 Roadsters were produced by Ford. How many are still around? And how many are still around in this condition...uncut, unmolested, and un-restored? My guess is less than five. Features:

I encourage anyone interested in bidding to view the Bronco in person, it is located in Acworth, GA. If you have any questions, please let me know prior to bidding. This Bronco is sold as-is, where-is, with no warranty implied or given. |

EPA says fuel economy test for hybrids is accurate
Mon, 26 Aug 2013
The EPA says it stands behind its fuel economy test for hybrid vehicles following controversy about the testing process after Ford C-Max Hybrid customers and automotive journalists alike struggled to achieve 47 miles per gallon, the advertised mpg number, Automotive News reports. Ford responded to the issue almost two weeks ago by claiming that a 1970s-era EPA general label rule was responsible for the inaccurate mileage numbers, rerating the C-Max Hybrid's mpg numbers and offering customers rebates. Ford later said it didn't overstate the C-Max Hybrid's fuel economy and that it was surprised by the low numbers.
Ford technically didn't do anything wrong because it was following the general label rule, but agency regulator Christopher Grundler says the automaker was exploiting a loophole when it came up with the hybrid C-Max numbers, and that the testing process remains accurate. The general label rule allows vehicles that use the same engine and transmission and are in the same weight class to share fuel economy numbers, but it doesn't take into account other factors such as aerodynamic efficiency, which affects hybrids more drastically than non-hybrid vehicles. Ford originally used the Fusion Hybrid economy figures for the C-Max Hybrid and claimed the engineers didn't realize that its aerodynamic efficiency would affect fuel economy as much as it did.
Subprime financing on the rise in new car sales, leasing too
Fri, 07 Dec 2012We all remember the financial crisis that began several years back. At its core was a splurge of subprime lending for housing loans. The housing bubble burst, triggering a collapse of the mortgage-backed securities market. Apparently, those types of loans still exist in the automotive industry, and the market share for these types of "nonprime, subprime, and deep subprime," loans has grown 13.6 percent compared to the third quarter a year ago.
According to an Automotive News report, high-risk lending expanded to 24.8 percent of total loans in Q3, up from 21.9 percent for this time last year. As this level increased, average credit scores of borrowers dropped to 755, down from 763 a year ago. In that time, the average financing amount increased $90 per vehicle, to $25,963.
At 818, Volvo maintains the highest per-owner credit score, while Mitsubishi has the lowest, at 694. The highest rate of borrowers was at Toyota, with 14 percent of the market, followed by Ford with 13.1 percent and Chevrolet at 11.1.
